Diary: February 4 2011

 

Mister Stickler gave us a 4/1 winner today beating an odds on favourite.

Cambridgeshire winner Credit Swop looks the one to be on in the Bangor 1.25 tomorrow. Already a winner over hurdles he seems to handle any ground.

The 3.30 is a tricky 3 horse race. Rackham Lerouge. A half brother to Punchestowns he won over fences at the second time of asking when defying short odds at Towcester. The step up in trip may well bring out further improvement in him and he has won at the track over hurdles. Wymott is unbeaten in two runs over fences and the form of those races has worked out really well. A course and distance winner he is a good jumper and gets my vote here.

Hurdlers

At Catterick the imposing looking Mac Aeda can come good in the 2.45. Humbie is an interesting runner in the 3.50. From the family of Denman he runs here over what looks like an inadequate trip. He may be one to look out for in handicaps later in the season.

At Chepstow I am going for a couple of outsiders. Gorgehous Lliege (ew 1.30) and Gus Macrae (2.35)
